Think its equal to the transition tag for top 10 picks, believe thats the avg of the top 10 guys at the position. All other 1st rounders get the avg of I think the 3rd-25th paid players at their position. That is a mega savings at QB/OT/DE/CB. A QB at pick 5 will be in the neighborhood of 4 years and 25 million with an option year around 20 at current day. That's 5 years $45m. A top 10 vet QB going forward after the Jimmy G and Cousins deals are going to be looking at $30m a year, so 5 for $150. That's over $100m savings over the course of 5 years though you're obviously not getting top 10 QB play in year 1 and maybe year 2. Or there's about a 50% chance they could be a turd and set your franchise back for 5 years and get you fired. [/QUOTE]
